And while we think the Camino brings us closer to simplicity we spend a fortune on techincal clothing, back packs and other items. We pay small fortunes to carry an item that are just a few grams lighter. What I carry on a camino is close to 1 500 C$ of stuff I would not use back home other than at the dog run!

Yet we feel we are becoming minimalists
I have 3 boxes of vintage photos of my family that I don't know what to do with.
Are we really living with less when we long distance walk? We can easily say that all our possessions are on our back but we rely on other's household belongings. Pots and pans, kitchen utensils food supplies, in some cases bed covers and household cleaning supplies and on and on. Rarely do we carry 11 pounds on our backs when we go to our local market or to work or to the pub.
Isnt it more of a self induced euphoria to believe life with 11 pounds is a credible goal?
